Kimball (1-2) at Sierra (2-1), 7 p.m.: The Timberwolves, who scored an average of close to 43 points per game last year, have scored an even 100 in their last two games after opening the season with a 32-21 loss to Tracy.

Lodi (1-2) at Tokay (4-0), 7:15 p.m., Grape Bowl: Lodi had an early lead in last year's game before Tokay scored 28 unanswered points in a 35-13 victory that ended the Flames' five-year winning streak in the rivalry.

Fairfield (2-1) at Stagg (2-1), 7:15 p.m.: After some early season rough patches, the Delta Kings impressed last week with a 49-3 win over Lodi. Lester Williams caught two touchdown passes, returned a kickoff for a score and had an interception.

West (1-3) at Tracy (2-1), 7:15 p.m.: West picked up a win this week when Brentwood-Liberty forfeited two games, including a 48-7 win over the Wolf Pack - for using an academically ineligible player. Still, West would like to get first-year coach Chris Myers his first real victory against the Bulldogs, who've won three of the last four meeting.

Edison (3-0) at Frankin (3-1), 7:15 p.m.: What's always been a heated rivalry has more at stake for the first time in a while; with both teams sitting on three wins and six victories likely enough for a playoff berth, tonight's winner should be in good shape with league play approaching.

McNair (0-4) at Merced-Golden Valley (1-3), 7:15 p.m.: The Eagles are struggling with just 31 players on their roster. In four games, the Eagles have scored 37 points, and they've allowed 36 points or more in all four.

Weston Ranch (1-2) at Lathrop (0-3), 7:15 p.m.: The Cougars got rookie coach Seth Davis his first victory last week, 26-18 over Bear Creek. The Spartans will look to do the same tonight for their first-year coach Steve Wichman.

Sonora (0-3) at Manteca (2-1), 7:15 p.m.: The Buffaloes kick off the Valley Oak League season as, arguably, the conference favorite, while the once-proud Wildcats head into their final season in the VOL winless.

Oakdale (1-2) at East Union (1-2), 7:15 p.m.: The Mustangs lost a lot of players off last year's Division II state bowl finalist team, but the 1-2 mark is deceptive. Oakdale lost one-point games to Turlock and Redding-Enterprise - who are a combined 7-0 - before beating Lancaster-Paraclete last week, 40-9.

Dixon (1-2) at Linden (2-2), 7:30 p.m.: Bailey Wright ran for 101 yards and two TDs last week for the Lions, who rebounded from two one-sided losses to beat Riverbank 42-10. Dixon won last year's meeting 44-7.

Amador (4-0) at Capital Christian (4-0), 7:30 p.m.: Donald White ran for 128 yards and four TDs in last week's 49-0 win over Natomas. The Thundering Herd, which is off to its best start under fifth-year coach Bill Baker, beat Capital Christian 31-12 last year.

Bret Harte (1-3) at Brookside Christian (0-3), 1 p.m., Lincoln High: The Knights have been tough to figure out. Despite a deep roster of players returning from last year's section title-winning team, Brookside has been outscored 168-80 over three winless games.

Calaveras (2-1) at Sacramento-Rio Americano (1-3), 1 p.m.: The Redskins are coming off a huge 13-7 win over Sonora, which will leave the VOL to join Calaveras in the Mother Lode League next year. Calaveras won last year's meeting with the Raiders, 25-20.

Argonaut (1-2) at Ferndale (1-2), 2 p.m.: Caleb Patrick, who leads the Mustangs with 347 yards and three touchdowns through three games, ran for 128 yards on 12 carries last year in a 27-7 home win over Ferndale.

Tahoe City-North Tahoe (2-1) at Elliot Christian, 7 p.m., Lincoln High: The Eagles are still winless with two double-digit defeats. They've been outscored 119-39 after going 7-4 and reaching the playoffs last year.

Livermore Valley Prep (1-3) at Millennium (2-0), 7 p.m., Kimball High: This is the program's first season for Livermore Valley Prep, which was shut out in its first two games before beating Turlock Christian 66-40 two weeks ago.

Byes: Bear Creek, Chavez
